Irrational Number
You can tell this easily because the square root of 50 isn't a perfect number.
Answer:
The money was left untouched for 2 years and 6 months or just 2.5 years
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the time taken for an amount deposited to earn a certain amount of interest.
Mathematically, simple interest can be calculated using the formula;
I = PRT/100
where I is the interest accrued which is 3696.88 - 3,500 = 196.88
P is the principal which is the amount deposited = 3,500 according to the question
R is the rate which is 2.25% according to the question
T is the time which we are to find
we can rearrange the formula making T the subject and we obtain the following;
T = 100I/PR
substituting the values listed above we have;
T = (100 * 196.88)/(3500 * 2.25)
T = 19688/7875
T = 2.5 years or 2 years 6 months
Speed of the ship in the second hour = (62.5 * x ) / 100 kph.
In third hour it is [(62 * x) / 100 ] * x/100]
is 4th hour its is the above * x/100 again so we can now form the equation
62.5x x x
------- * ---- * ---- = 32
100 100 100
62,5 x^3 = 32,000,000
x^3 = 512,000
x = 80 <----- Answer to (a)
(b) Ship travels 62.5 in first hour then this falls by a common ratio of 0.8 each hour so we have a geometric sequence
Dist travelled in 6 hours = a1 1 - r^n
-------- = 62.5* (1 - 0.8^6) / 1 -0.8 = 230.56
1 - r
Answer is 230.56 km
As it a lowest one so you will have to double it It is 16:64
(h + j)(x)
h(x) + j(x)
2x - 3 + -4x
-2x - 3
